Nonsense, you can't even buy a K-3 these days unless you buy used. It's ancient history. Just another guy comparing current Nikon tech. to 8 year old Pentax tech. It's disingenuous. At the very least, things from Nikon current catalogue should be compared to Pentax's current catalogue.
Since the release of the K-3 Pentax released the K-3ii, The K-70, the K-P, the K-1 and K-1ii. and this 7 year old tech still costs $2,000 CAD. If the D750 is a sign of anything, it's stagnation in the Nikon Catalogue with reference to OVFs. Something that should give people pause when considering it. The K-3 is a year older, and long gone. What's with Nikon?
The one thing that might be interesting to know is how much the switch cost the OP.
I'm also wondering, if anyone is actually considering a K-3 (current value around $400-$500 in the same shopping search as a D750. Do any of these people actually exist?
Honestly, when you look at the K-3iii with just as good AF, 12 fps instead of 6.5, a similar number of AF points and 2 more MP, probably enough to overcome any IQ issues, even at this reduced price, I'm not seeing it as a good value. Certainly not worth a lens exchange.
If anyone is interested, there a used one at Henry's for $650 CAD. Pay your $2000 CAD and that's what it's worth the next day. For those wanting one of those 150-600 type lenses, it could be a deal, although from my perspective, a D750 is just a K-3 without the crop sensor advantage for field of view. Apart from that, I can't see this camera appealing to anyone. 24 MP at 6.5 fps, that's pathetic. Not even up to K-3 standards. Anyone going for it?
Anyone?
